Here's a little slide show to TRY and depict in a small way what our trip was like. I am still processing this wonderful miracle in our lives, Rob is curled up in the fetal position with food poisoning and all the children are fast asleep (for now:)).
Note: The food poisoning was not from Ethiopia!! We were perfectly healthy for the trip, thank God!!!

Oh my. What wonderful pictures! I felt like I was there with you. You both look SO happy! Elias is quite a healthy big boy! Awesome. I wondered, the other families outside the gate at HH, were they with our agency too? SO glad you are home. Maria

Thanks for the slide show. I am sitting here bawling at the thought of leaving Wesley. Watching your slide show gave me a renewed sense of excitment. I need all the momentum I can get!

Hey Jana...I have switched computers, and your email address is in my old one...would you mind emailing me? I was wondering if I could shoot you some questions (you know, "adoptive parent education" research questions. Because you have so much free time right now (ha ha) I thought you'd like to reflect on your experience!! :) Eryn
